The construct “<verb>ing <noun>” could alternatively be parsed as
“<gerund> <noun>”, with the gerund in the role of a determiner, e.g.:
a “walking stick” is a stick that is used for walking, or a “thinking
cap” is a cap for thinking. They don’t walk and think on their own,
but are tools used in a specific activity.
